ResidentialProxy.io sells residential proxy traffic by top-up, and the price per GB falls as the top-up grows. A $20 top-up buys 4 GB at $5.00 per GB, and the $1.00 rate in its headline starts at $5,000. We read those tiers on its pricing page on October 26, 2026. On the smallest plan, 48 of 66 residential sellers in our price records charge less than $5. Its traffic never expires, and city and ASN targeting come on every tier. Our residential proxies cost $0.50/GB for one GB by country, or $1.49/GB with city and ASN targeting.
The sections below price each tier, place both ends in the market, and set out where its own pages disagree. The last sections cover its terms, when staying is the better choice, and how to test a switch.
What does ResidentialProxy.io cost in 2026?
$5.00 down to $1.00 per GB, set by the size of each top-up. We read the five tiers on October 26, 2026:
| Top-up | Price per GB | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| $20 to $99 | $5.00 | 4 GB for $20 |
| $100 to $499 | $4.00 | 25 GB for $100 |
| $500 to $999 | $3.00 | 167 GB for $500 |
| $1,000 to $4,999 | $2.00 | 500 GB for $1,000 |
| $5,000 and up | $1.00 | 5,000 GB for $5,000 |
The traffic never expires, and its homepage says failed requests do not count toward usage. Every tier can target a country, region, city or ASN. It takes cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, USDT, ETH and other cryptocurrencies.
Residential traffic is the one product on sale. The homepage marks mobile, datacenter and static residential proxies as coming soon.
How do its prices compare with the market?
High at the small end and average at the top. Its $5.00 Starter rate sits above the $3.50 median smallest plan, and 48 of 66 sellers start lower. Its $1.00 Elite rate matches the median largest plan, and the chart shows how the 66 sellers spread at that end:
A small buyer rarely pays a seller's lowest rate. AIMultiple puts the gap at two to two and a half times for a 10 GB buyer, because of minimum plans. Here the gap is wider still: $5.00 at the smallest top-up is five times the $1.00 headline.
What do its pages promise, and where do they disagree?
Several of its own statements do not match each other. We tested none of them, and each one is ResidentialProxy.io's claim:
- Minimums. The homepage says "no minimums", while its sticky proxies page names a "$20 minimum top-up".
- Uptime. The same homepage shows 99.99% uptime in one place and a 99.9% uptime SLA in another.
- Static IPs. The homepage lists static residential proxies as coming soon, while the FAQ says they "are also available".
- Country counts. Japan and Australia both show 2,123,456+ residential IPs, and South Korea shows 1,987,654+.
- Sticky sessions. A session can keep one IP "for minutes or hours", with no maximum given.
What do ResidentialProxy.io's terms say?
That "all fees are non-refundable" unless otherwise stated. Its liability is capped at what you paid in the twelve months before a claim. The terms name no company and no governing law.
The registry records residentialproxy.io as registered on October 11, 2025, through Name.com, with its term running to October 11, 2027. The site's sitemap dates its blog posts from July 27, 2025, before that registration.
When is staying with ResidentialProxy.io the better choice?
When you top up large amounts, need city or ASN targeting on every GB, or pay by PayPal. It gives you three things we do not:
- City and ASN on every tier. Our Lite pool targets by country, and city or ASN targeting needs our Premium pool.
- PayPal. It takes PayPal, and we do not.
- Failed requests free, in its words. Its homepage says unsuccessful requests do not count toward usage.
If you top up $5,000 at a time, its $1.00 rate sits at the market median. The table below sets that against our own ladder.
When does an alternative fit better?
When your top-ups are small, or you need more than residential traffic. Below $100, each GB costs $4.00 to $5.00 there, and the smallest purchase is 4 GB.
Our residential proxies start at one GB: $0.50/GB by country, falling to $0.18/GB at 1,000 GB+. Premium, with state, city and ASN targeting, costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00/GB from 1,000 GB+. The balance never expires, and the full ladder is on the residential pricing page. We also sell mobile proxies at $1.50/GB and static ISP addresses at $2.70/IP a month.
How does HProxy compare with ResidentialProxy.io, product by product?
Side by side, from each seller's own pages, with its prices as read on October 26, 2026 and ours as they stand today:
| What you compare | ResidentialProxy.io | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Smallest purchase | $20 for 4 GB | 1 GB |
| Small buy, per GB | $5.00 | $1.49/GB Premium, $0.50/GB Lite |
| Large buy, per GB | $1.00 from $5,000 | $1.00/GB Premium at 1,000 GB+ |
| City and ASN | every tier | Premium only |
| Sticky sessions | minutes or hours | 3 minutes to 24 hours |
| Unused traffic | never expires | never expires |
| Other products | coming soon | mobile, ISP, datacenter |
| Ways to pay | card, PayPal, crypto | card, crypto, Alipay, QRIS, Pix |
Where ResidentialProxy.io loses is the small buyer. A first top-up costs $5.00 per GB against a $3.50 median and buys at least 4 GB, and its pages disagree on the basics. Where it wins is city and ASN targeting on every tier, and PayPal.
With us, a card payment starts at $10 and crypto at $3, and PayPal is not offered.
How do you test a switch before you top up again?
Price your real top-up first, then test the exit and your target.
- Find your tier. Your usual top-up sets your rate. Under $100 it is $4.00 or $5.00 per GB there, so compare that number with the headline set aside.
- Check the exit's owner. Our free IP lookup names the network behind an address, and the proxy checker tests a proxy you paste in. A residential exit belongs to a home internet provider.
- Try your own job. Put a small amount on the other side, run the job you actually run, and compare the share of requests that work.

What this page could not check
- No test of any network. We measured no speed, success rate, pool size or sourcing at ResidentialProxy.io or at any seller, ours included.
- One read of its pages. Every ResidentialProxy.io price comes from its pages on October 26, 2026.
- Not in our records. It has no rows in our price records, so its place in the market comes from its own page set against 66 other sellers.
- No named operator. Its pages and terms name no company, so we cannot say who runs it.
- Check by January 26, 2027. Prices and the products marked coming soon change, and every figure here needs a fresh read by then.
